I just read that "penryn" will be out tomorrow (2007/11/12).
I just didn't want to be to far behind the tech curve when getting
and building a new computer from parts.

Penryn should work with any of the current generation of chipsets. No
idea
at this point whether those will work with Nehalem when it comes out next
year or not, but odds are pretty good that the ones that will do 1600FSB
will.

Read my other post in this thread, and be aware that several current

will do 1600FSB.

"Will do" != "officially support," although in practice the former is
usually good enough.

Any idea if an Intel motheroard will support 1600fsb or even 1333fsb?

thanks,

Are you referring to a MB using Intel chipset or an actual Intel MB?.
There are several MBs out now (w/ various Intel chipsets) that support
1600FSB.
Look at some MB manufacturers' sites & select their 775 socket MBs and
you'll have lots of fun.
